What recall_decisions does on Metis Public Health
AI agents call recall_decisions to retrieve information from Metis Public Health without modifying anything. It is typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
Why recall_decisions is rated Low
The tool name 'recall' indicates data retrieval rather than modification, creation, or destruction. In the context of a personal research/knowledge management system (Metis), recalling decisions would fetch previously stored decision records. No side effects, destructive operations, or external execution are implied.
From the tool's definition Tool name 'recall_decisions' and context from sibling tools (add_memory_entry, add_journal_entry, aggregate_reflexions) suggest this retrieves or queries stored decision data. The description is empty, which reduces confidence.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs recall_decisions safely

recall_decisions is read-only, so it stays allowed. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect Metis Public Health, apply this rule, and every recall_decisions call is checked against it from then on.
